Windows Media Player 9 Series

[Xilo]

Um shn, I think your mistaken. Winamp 3.x series is the resource hog, not 2.x...

[ooo]

lol i use winamp 3 o well... i got 512mb ram to kill

Definitely WMP 9. The best features, easiest to use and greatest looks. I used to use Winamp, it's looked like a VB program.

I feel the same way Amarjit, I lloooovee Windows Media Player 9. Winamp looks so cheezy, and I don't like the way it organizes. (probably because I'm more familiar with WMP 9 though).

But I think they'd both be awesome though if I took the time to get more used to Winamp.

Not to offend anyone but they both suck.

Winamp is a resource hog and windows media player will never amount to anything because its a microsoft product embedded into windows.

Winamp 3 is 100 times better than WINMP 9

When it comes to audio tracks I rarely listen to them on my computer. I put most of em on my portable mp3 player. But if I do listen to them I use the core media player or one of the other handful of media players I have installed.

I never used Winamp ,i use only WMP but i heard a lot of good comments about Winamp.

Winamp 2 gets my vote over WMP.

As far as sound quality goes i think they&#39;re about the same. Yes, WMP9 has its SRS WOW effects, but there&#39;s any number of plugins for Winamp. Personally i don&#39;t use any of them; there&#39;s no substitute for a good sound card like an Audigy 2.

I also use Musicmatch Jukebox Plus for its brilliant file tagging feature. I paid for it though, about £13 only, but don&#39;t know if there&#39;s any way around that. Also it has good internet radio.

I used Real- once... I do not like softwares that keep useage statistics and act as havens for others to spy glimpses of what I am playing on it.

Wimamp3 was relatively simple to use. I loved the skins but ditched it for WMP9 because of the way it is integrated into the OS. Version 9 seemed to learn from past mistakes to include more of the options that attracted me to the Winamp series in the first place. I do not mind all the spyware-like components it is reputed for having so long as I have a good firewall in place. Codecs are easy enough to find for it as well. And I have a few plug-ins that work well with the player to enhance the overall experience.
